The Old Reader: behind the scenes - Thanks, Google!
While there is good stuff in there about #RSS, this is the bit that, to me, matters more:
But online publishing isn’t supposed to be easy. And being an informed citizen isn’t supposed to be easy, either. The idea that we just casually check our phone every hour or so and Google, Twitter, or Facebook would give us a quick dose of everything we need to read is a fantasy.

FUEGO “Did you even READ the piece?”
I'm not convinced. I'd also like to know what happens to my data. As usual, am I the customer or the product?
Silos, IndieWeb, and Me - skippy.net
In part, it’s fun. It’s a challenge, and something to do to keep me entertained. But more than that, it’s empowering to know that I am in control of all of my content. I’ve been posting content online for longer than many of these silos have existed; so maybe I’m a relic of a bygone time, when people had more skin in the game of content creation? Maybe I’m pursuing some quixotic vision where people share meaningful information without the burden of monetization or gamification or the pursuit of more followers.
This ^. Even though I don't have a hundredth of Skippy's knowledge.
